Recipe Cook it yourself
- Prep approx. 30 min
Creamy sesame broth with soya drink and tahini, topped with spicy minced chicken, crisp pak choi with shiitake and ramen noodles. A spoonful of chilli crisp on top gives this Japanese noodle soup its signature heat.
Method
Vegetables
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Fry the shiitake for approx. 2 mins. Add the pak choi and ginger and fry for approx. 1 min. Briefly stir-fry the bean sprouts, season, then remove. The vegetables should stay crisp.
Chicken
Heat the oil in the same pan. Fry the minced chicken for approx. 5 mins, stirring, until crumbly and golden brown. Reduce the heat, add the ginger, garlic, chilli bean paste and spring onion and fry for approx. 1 min. Deglaze with the soy sauce, then remove.
Soup
Bring the stock to the boil in a small saucepan. Whisk in the soya drink, tahini, soy sauce and sugar until the soup is creamy. Remove from the heat just before it simmers; do not let it boil. Stir in the sesame oil.
Noodles
Cook the ramen noodles in plenty of boiling water for approx. 1 min or according to the packet instructions, then drain.
To serve
Divide the noodles between warmed bowls and pour over the hot soup. Top with the vegetables and chicken and drizzle with chilli crisp to taste.
- Tip:
- For more depth, steep 2 dried shiitake and 1 slice of ginger in the stock for approx. 10 mins, then remove.
- Variation:
- Use minced pork instead of minced chicken, as in classic tantanmen.
- Serve with:
- A halved soft-boiled egg and fresh coriander.
